Conversion and Creation of Characters

[Davis]

Just out of curiosity why does the campaign not allow a rewrite? I just remember there being a rule about if there were drastic changes to the rule you could rewrite, just curious about the reason behind the decision

You do know what curiosity did to the Cat-Kin, right?

One of the main reasons is to preserve the continuity of the story. If everyone were new and/or rewrote into something new, then the story would end.

What you remember is a policy we have. Each time a rule was changed or altered in The Underworld Campaign, the Staff would look at how it changed things for the players. We would then advise you if a rewrite was allowed. Most commonly there were not full rewrites of characters, but only things related to the new rule.

If it makes you feel better, you practically are getting a rewrite, but not a full rewrite. As was explained previously in this thread, the conversion is extremely generous. You can change just about everything except your Player Character name and general concept. That should be sufficient to satisfy the most finicky Player.

Another huge reason is this is not a simple rules change. It is an entirely new campaign.

If this were a book, the story is in the same World, but this is Chapter 2. Some characters are in this chapter from Chapter 1. There will be new characters introduced. Some will just fade away lost in the previous chapter. The question really is, and what I’m most curious about, is what kind of player are you and what will you do with your character. Fade away, stay, or evolve... the story will continue no mater what is chosen.
